SEO – Phoenix 10 Contact Angle Analyzer

Phoenix 10 Brochure

Overview

The Phoenix series is designed to offer the flexibility required for Q.A, R&D, and engineering process development

The Phoenix 10 series has a special designed optical system for reducing the light scattering and able to upgrade to a higher model with ease. The fluid is dispensed from the manually controlled syringe system. The position of the sample stage precisely adjusted along X-, Y- or Z-axis for the fine image analysis.

1.Static Contact angle measurement

 Measurement range : 0~180°

 

 

2. Easy Surface Energy calculator (GGFY, Owens Wendt, Lewis method)

Using measured contact angle data itself

3. Surface tension by pendent drop method

(1mN/m ~ 1000nM/m)

4. Curved surface sample measuring function

 

Software function

 1. Static contact angle calculation by three modes

   - Tangent line method 1(For Tilting contact angle and bigger drop volume)

   - Tangent line method 2(For common measurement)

   - Trigonometric function (For low angle measurement : less than 30degree)

2. Realtime Preview Result before capture function

- Able to check condition of image before capture - Measurement data will be display before capture

- Able to check an instant contact angle and surface tension data

3. Manual mode for critical sample 

4. Auto calculate average

- Automatic calculation of the average contact angle data by the software based on the frames captured.

5. Graphical data

6. Four types of capture modes

  •    Single mode -  One by one capture image
  •    Sequence mode -  Able to check by interval time base
  •    Verify mode -   Will show only one Maximum frequent image
  •    Programmed mode - Use it with Tilting, Time base by triggering

7. Export captured date to Excel (2 modes)

  •    Selected only one image export on whole measured image

  • All images export at once into an collection

8. Manual define Base line  function

  •  User can define the baseline manually for difficult to calculate contact angle
